Espanyol's players were not at all agree with those who believed that Espanyol had no intensity in the derby. Clearer who was Javi Marquez explained. "Not lacked intensity, which can not be done is to kick without any sense," he said.

The midfielder has sewn the name of his daughter Valeria in boots and celebrated the goal with his thumb stuck in his mouth.

Andrés Iniesta reaches the end of the season in a dramatic state of grace. Yesterday he ate alone through eleven parakeet with a display of awesome game, monopolizing the midfield and serving as a shuttle to their colleagues in attack. "For` inri opened the scoring on a play where not only staff recovered a ball to a defender but it garnished with a cut, using a hole to get into the area and take a right which came as a flash in the short stick Kameni's surprise. A little peace of mind that gave the team, which until then had shown some wasteland on the door looking for Cameroonian goal.

Iniesta and eight total goals in the league is your best record since the first team is what accumulates nine this season, matching his best numbers he did in the 2006-07 season where he scored six goals in the league, two in Champions and one Copa del Rey.

There is no doubt that Andrew is not a specialist in front of goal let alone a 'killer ", but the second goal-line search and assume responsibilities at the time of finishing is vital for the team.

In any case, while not lavishing too much has already been named the `Iniestazo anthology are your goals, which have served for nothing more and nothing less than reaching the Champions League final in Rome in 2009 and World Cup win of 2010 in the final against Holland.

If you look at his numbers it is true that we have a player who has a rather modest performance in the scoring aspect as shown in two seasons, 2005-06 and 2009-10, was only able to score a little, but we must also remember that both were almost three months out because of injuries. In fact, among the anecdotes Andrew vital that the player in Guardiola's first season came one day in his office for advice to score more goals to the surprise of the technician who recalled that his time had just scored ten Blaugrana goals.

So this season we not only have the best version of Iniesta in game, is fortunately the injuries we have met this year and has become one of the players with more minutes in the league "but has also assumed greater responsibility attacking play and look more at door.

In any case, the manchego after the game came out yesterday to remember that the League is "already more cerquita", wanting to sing the Alirón next Wednesday against Levante. (via SPORT)
